NAME
       mq_close - Closes a message queue (P1003.1b)

LIBRARY
       Realtime Library (librt.so, librt.a)

SYNOPSIS
       #include <mqueue.h>

       int mq_close (
       mqd_t mqdes);

PARAMETERS
       mqdes   Specifies a message queue descriptor.

DESCRIPTION
       The  mq_close  function closes a message queue.	This function removes the association between the message queue descriptor, mqdes, and its
       open message queue description.	When all message queue descriptors associated with an open message queue description have been closed, the
       associated  open message queue description is removed.  The message associated with the message queue will then be deleted if mq_unlink was
       already called, or is called after all processes have closed the queue.

RETURN VALUES
       On successful completion, the function returns the value 0 (zero); otherwise, the function returns the value -1 and sets errno to  indicate
       the error.

ERRORS
       The mq_close function fails under the following conditions:

       [EBADF]	      The mqdes argument is an invalid message queue descriptor.

       [EFAULT]       An internal virtual memory error occurred.
